| Top 5 guitar jams I'm not sure what I'd put in positions 2-5, but my all time fav is Duane Allman (with Boz Scaggs on rythm - "Loan Me a Dime" from Boz Scaggs fist album.After that, probably "Layla" and "Stairway to Heaven". | |
| Highly Recommended CHILL OUT CDs??? Here's a new one:Klaus Schulze and Lisa Gerrard - "Farscape"It's a new release (August 2008) 2 disc CD and amazing. I just got mine yesterday and have only had a chance to listen to disc I, but it alone is worth the $14.99 I paid. It has those gre... | |
| Different ways to Biwire speakers the VR4 Geniii manual says you should use a jumper only as a temporary solution. Bi-wiring them is the correct connection. Further, TVAD's recollection is correct, you should connect the wire to the mid/tweeter module, and the jumper down from that. | |
| Highly Recommended CHILL OUT CDs??? "Electronic Realizations for Rock Orchestra" - Synergy good call . . . Larry Fast (aka Synergy) recorded multiple albums and they are all great, though a little higher energy than the reference recording. | |
| Shorting plugs.... well . . . I have multiple inputs on my preamp because I routinely switch between CD and Phono (I actually only need 2 inputs, but my pre has 4, so I short the unused 2). I'm just not willing to go to the inconvenience of unplugging my phono when ... | |

| Shorting plugs.... I've tried RCA shorting plugs as well as non-shorting caps on the open inputs of one preamp I was having noise floor problems with. Note, you don't want to short open output connectors, only inputs. I noticed very little though some improvement. I... | |
| Dynaco/SS Bi-amp w/ Von Schweikert query I have the VR4geniii's and tried to biamp in a similar way. I used a SS amp on the bass units, and a TAD 60 on the mid/tweets. The TAD 60 has a volume pot and when wide open it's more sensitive (ie louder) than my SS amp (Eagle 4). It seemed like ... | |
| I need an economical but good phono preamp? I recently picked up a Musical Fidelity X-LPS and am very impressed. I paid | |
| What connectors for DIY cable? These Belkins are great for DIY. They use a set screw to attach, and will take a 12 gauge cable. Also, if you buy one of these sets, the Spade connectors unscrew from the ends and you can change them to these BFA Banana connector which is convenie... | |
| Blues from the 50s/60s/70s If I were to pick one to start with, I would go for Muddy Waters 'Folk Singer.'I agree, and the Chess records version has amazing sonics, better than most MFSL records I have (from other artists). Sadly, a lot of great early performer's recordings... | |
| Rega Hal - preamp outs if you flip your preamp over (bottom up) you'll see 4 hex key cap screws. You need to remove them, then flip the pre back over and lift the top half of the die-cast shell off (it separates at the middle seam). Do this carefully so you don't scratc... | |
| Can a sub be hooked up to speaker posts? When hooked up this way with rels how much of a load will be put on the amp.virtually no load. The Rel has a very high impedance, and it has its own power amp and not using the amp for power, so its its effect on the amp is negligible. | |
| Oil for TT bearing - any advise? I use 30W Mobile One. | |
| Can a sub be hooked up to speaker posts? One thought that occurred to me is if your amp is a fully balanced design, then you would NOT want to connect your sub this way (contrary to my previous statement). In this case you need to connect the Sub ground lead to a chassis ground point and... |
